The Black Pearl Rhum Liqueur by Hammerschmiede (70cl, 28%)

This is a rum liqueur from Hammerschmiede, combining various rum and rhum varieties with vanilla and sugar. Natural vanilla macerate and brown cane sugar supplement the base spirits, with a sugar content of 200 grams per litre. After a spicy opening, the flavour follows with fruity sweetness. The liqueur contains 28% alcohol and is offered in a clear, ribbed 0.7 litre bottle. The label connects the name The Black Pearl with a historical seafarer figure. On the nose, brown sugar and sweet vanilla combine with a fine spice note. On the palate the liqueur is powerful and pronouncedly sweet, with sugar cane, fruit and spices accompanying the dominant vanilla note. The long finish remains sweet and spicy, with oak spice and bourbon vanilla.
